Loads better than Bernie. Doubt on shots, downplay injury, remind people that for some, civility and respect are re-commitments. Here’s a wet-wipe, Donald, have a nice day.

I feel like it’s at least possible that this will work like that trick of if you can’t decide between two things, toss a coin and call it and then notice how you feel. Like a coin was tossed here and maybe some of these dead inside non-voters will feel something, maybe an anxiety, the absence of relief, wistful. You can act on that. It’s not too late.

Interesting that the phone worked. I think some LEDs do send directional light, why they need to put diffusers even on all the tiny pixels of a tv, or maybe I’m confusing things. I was thinking originally about parabolic reflector, but I don’t know if any common consumer items have those.

Tragic. I know this isn’t the point of your post, but does this work any better with an old fashioned headlight or flashlight with the little bulb in the center of a sort of bowl-shaped reflector, or are those still too diffuse?

Much simpler. Kind of disappointing.

One thing in this horrible story that will be familiar to anyone worth lifelong illness is the divide between pediatric and adult care. At age 18, you will experience an immediate shift in professional knowledge, care paradigm, access and support, either for better or worse, and it’s just ridiculous because the condition is the same. This just shows how much more important the system as a whole is compared to the intelligence, curiosity, or work ethic of any individual doctor. We were advised with my daughter (different illness) to keep pediatric specialists as long as possible and many of them regularly made these exceptions for patients for this reason.

So a relative of mine is a serial entrepreneur who self describes solving problems by basically just asking (nicely) for the same thing over and over again until she gets it. Personally I’ve been amused and frustrated by her inability to follow other people’s line of thought or suggestions (or rules) even though she’s as smart as anyone else so long as she’s the one directing things. I’ve thought that she is a leader more or less because she can’t be a follower and other people find it easiest to go along (if they want to work with her, which after her first success was increasingly likely).

So this robot fish, by not understanding or responding to the group has effectively made it necessary for the group to follow it as they instinctively all want to stick together.

Which makes me think the fish are naturally inclined to follow the most socially oblivious among them. But this only makes sense if the leaders are not really socially oblivious, but have only temporarily found a stronger motivation, which they communicate by overriding their normal group-school behavior, forcing the rest to follow their lead.

I could be wrong, but my understanding is the reviews are done by other academics for free, if at all… That’s why getting published is kind of reputation based and circular because the cheapest review is just to look up whether they’ve been published before.

I’m guessing your readers still encounter the hard sales pitch of the Medium membership regardless of your own monetization, that’s all.

Boringly enough, Google lens gave me exact matches to your image and the captions were in Russian, but did not give a name. The image I posted was another result farther down.

All too true

Have they convicted the ones with the zip ties yet?

In spite of the tabloid level headline, this article says he was white house neurologist since 2012, continuous, and visited Obama 10 times in his first year at the post. Visits to Trump were not disclosed.

I made an paid account with medium to see posts related to my work, and I really enjoy it. I get an email every day with a handful of articles based on what I said my interests are/followed authors and I can read them with none of the issues other people are talking about (obviously because I’ve already caved to their business model, just pointing out the annoyances do actually stop, unlike some premium services).

If you think your readers will follow you to a paid platform, I don’t see anything wrong with it. But if they don’t want to pay, it sounds like it will be a bad experience. I would be skeptical of having a broader reach, also, since there is a lot of competition, not all of it human.

Check the taller building on the far left of the ruins. It’s in the middle in the linked image.

They are making this new list to keep voters who were unhappy with project 2025 so I think it’s important to point out it doesn’t actually exclude any of those provisions. It’s not a promise to be more moderate and actually winking at the far right the whole time.

I really feel this article underrates the Congressional races happening at the same time and more of a comparison to the British and French elections. What I take from this is that the strategies available to the Democrats are constrained by the two party system, and almost completely hamstrung in the presidential election with a candidate who is incumbent. But it would be more interesting to compare what’s happening among the legislature where there are (or were before primaries) more candidates and more likelihood of creative alliances.

Doesn’t this bely the “toned down language on abortion” that leaves it to the states? Because once it’s a constitutional issue, the supreme Court can overturn any state’s protection of abortion rights. Just the idea that a ball of unconscious cells has the same or more right to life as the 24yr old women it lives in is disgusting to me. His platform is just more vague, it still contains all of the possibilities of the original.

Can we at least deny rights to the sperms and eggs? How about ensuring the right to contraception

Sometime needs to be watching him all the time. This is why they invented God.

My guess is the supermarket wants to get rid of the expensive stuff it will lose without power, so they put it on the news and make it seem scarce. My guess is a lot of people who didn’t even think of brisket ended up buying two. But I don’t know much about Texas maybe no one doesn’t think of brisket.
